11:20 a.m.
Here is the current list of tasks to be done:
# jreznik to bring Brno summer coding opportunities discussion to the
list for further planning.
# mchua to start discussion with openhatch.org to find out how we can
integrate our ideas/needs pool
# quaid to start [[Summer Coding 2010]] as central page for this
year's work.
# need to set deadline for school participation
# need to set specific list of what a school needs to decide/figure
out before deadline
One item that we agreed to but I forgot to include in the summary is
that effective immediately, we are using #fedora-summer-coding for
this SIG's discussion and work. #fedora-gsoc is going to be put aside
for the year. #redhat-summer is still a brand-neutral umbrella
organization discussion point, when needed.

This is an interesting one - especially also since the semester / vacation times
are different in US / Germany / ...
Especially for students of German Universities of applied science, the GSoC dates
were not optimal.
I've sent email to two professors at Univ of Applied science Esslingen and Heilbronn
to find out if there is interest - Esslingen and Heilbronn are both close to STR.
There is an Univ of AS in STR too, but I have no contact into it.

I've heard the same about belgium in regards to GSoC. IIRC there was a
post on the gsoc list about how they organise their schedules to make
it fit, and in the end, projects end up being just as successful.
Unfortunately i don't remember offhand what the details were, but i
hope this gives you a good pointer at least.

Shall we put up a wiki page with interested countries and their school
terms? I'm pretty sure it's different from Czech Republic as well.
BTW I've just joined the mailing list. I have a very good relation with
two universities in Brno, Czech Republic (one of them was hosting FUDCon
two years ago) and their are for sure interested in Summer Coding.

You will never fulfill the needs of all students, we should set deadlines that
suits most of our !participating! students (depending on uni schedule). I was
thinking about GSoC while I was student but the schedule indeed did not fit my
needs :(

One interesting outcome of doing a summer coding as a silo with each
school is that we can adjust to fit their schedule (for the most
part.)
If you haven't seen this post and video, it extrapolates the model
from Google's SoC for summer coding in general:

Watch that thinking about each school as part of a unique sponsorship
pool. A sponsorship pool could include corporate and university
sponsors, pulling resources (people to do the work, money for
students, stipends or room/board from schools, etc.)
